October 2010

* The first HD 3D porn site is here: 3DCertified launched this week. What do you think, is it the next wave of porngasms? I’m not so sure about the spooky disembodied butt-in-face action… (3dcertified.com)

* The big news this week was that sprawling VoD multi-site empire HotMovies, based in Philadelphia, was raided by the FBI. I didn’t jump on the stroy because there was little by way of explanation or result, and while the sites are back online, there is still no explanation. Friends HotMovies4Her and Buck Angel Movies are part of HotMovies. (xbiz.com)

* If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area and go to Gold’s Gym, join me in signing this petition opposing the huge amount of money the chain’s owner just gave to some of the most anti-gay politicians in the country. Our local gyms are planning to defect and go solo, ASAP. (change.org)

* Gizmodo extended their Sexy Robot Costume Contest through Sunday the 31st – who can resist hot bots and free pizza? (gizmodo.com)

* The Economist has a great article connecting elections and public desire for pornography, based on a recent study that used WordTracker, election stats, and Google Trends. Mind Hacks has a fun summary, and unlike The Economist, links you to the study so you can see all the NSFW results for yourself. (economist.com, mindhacks.com)

* Sex advice from Johnny Knoxville and Chris Pontius. “What’s the best thing about having sex with a Jackass cast member? Johnny Knoxville: It won’t take that long. You can have the rest of your day to do whatever you want.” (nerve.com)

* Strangulation and masturbation — it has been studied a bit more, and the results are surprising. Not as harmful as suspected, but more dangerous than ever. (mindhacks.com, thanks Praemedia!)

* This week, everyone was talking about Sex In The Pink’s new campaign to create porn for a sex-positive society. It’s feminist focused, and while it’s verbose, there are some sentiments worth supporting. I’m eager to see where this goes. I especially like paragraphs 5 and 6. (sexinthepink.baywords.com)

* Stories we follow: the Sex.com sale hit a big bump, showing that even this part of the domain’s saga is filled with sleaze and drama. Also: Larry Flynt has (sadly) joined the sue-filesharers bandwagon and filed suit against thousands of people who downloaded “This Ain’t Avatar XXX” — bringing the defendant total to 7,164. In response, Hustler.com was taken temporarily offline by Operation Payback. I have to voice the irony surrounding suing someone for stealing a film based on a concept, look and storyline that is not your own. Just sayin’. (both xbiz.com)

Now, this is looking to be pretty fun. Amazon just released a beta version of a feature which lets you (in this case, me) embed the first chapter from select books into a web page. Typically, for the Kindle reader, for many books — but not all — Kindle users can download a book’s first chapter so they can sample the book before making a purchase. This new option (in beta), lets me put that first chapter in a blog post, and below you can see that it has the functionality to let readers resize the text size, make it full-screen, flip through the pages, etc.

I was really surprised to see they made this available for my (hot!) book Best Women’s Erotica 2010. Not only did they include the introduction (where I tell you about all the stories in the book, but still no spoilers) — they included the entire first story! It’s a red-hot piece of erotica by extremely talented author Scarlett French. Her story “Shoe Shine at Liverpool Street Station” is simply riveting. If you’re looking for a turn-on, read it below.

And, let me know what you think of this new Kindle beta toy, if you feel moved to give me your opinion. As I love erotica so much, I’m inclined to do regular flash-erotica posts when I find sexy books enabled for this kind of sharing (unless it annoys you, or you find a bug).

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to get that Tenga or Rabbit, get a copy of Open Invitation (read my review), a massage candle in my favorite scent (Love), or pick up an Orgasm in a Box Kit For Him or For Her, now might be a good time. I just got an email saying that Babeland is having a quick and dirty Halloween special, where through the 31st, customers who click on hidden pumpkins (this season’s Easter eggs) will get gifts ranging from 10% off the whole order to assorted toys and gifts, and ominously promising they’ll “throw in some sex toy tricks.” What a great idea.

Disclosure: Babeland is a TinyNibbles sponsor, however this post is 100% pure unsolicited editorial content.

Update: Ooooh, cute new Foxy Bombshell Panties and — yikes! — Octopussy Dildo!
